GEORGE D. GARVIE AND GEORGE WOOD, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

COMBINED SEWING-MACHINE AND MUSICAL INSTRUMENT.

SPECIFICATION forming; part of Letters Patent No. 267,874, dated November 21, 1882.

Application filed June 17, 1882.

To an whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, GEORGE D. GARVIE and GEORGE W001), both residingin the city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in the Method of Uniting and Combining a Musical Instrument with a Sewing-Illachine, of which the following is a specification.

The musical instrument we have chosen to combine with a sewing-machine for the purpose of illustrating our invention is called an organette, and the portion of the sewingmachiue with which we combine the musical instrument is the usual cover-frame or cabinet inclos ing an ordinary sewing-machine.

The object of our invention is to utilize the motive power of the sewing-machine for the purpose of operating the orgauette or any other musical instrument of a similar kind.

The following is a full, accurate, and complete description of our improvements, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, in which the figure is a vertical section.

a is the driving-wheel ofthe sewing-machine; b,the loose fly-wheel; c, the end of the bracketarm; (I (I, the sewing-machine cover; 0, the bellows for supplying air to the organ; ff, a crank and pulley wheel which operates the bellows and propels the perforated sheet of paper through that portion of the sewing-machine frame which is used as a music-box. g g is the box containing the reeds.

The construction and arrangement of this music-box, in combination with a sewing-machine, is very simple aud easily understood.

The fly-wheel b is provided with a rubber (No model.)

band or roller, 8, which, by means of the friction-"clutch commonly usedin sewing-machines, can be broughtin contact with the crank and pulley wheel at pleasure when the sewing-machine is not in operation. The fly-wheel being put in motion by the treadle of the sewing-machine, the crank and pulley wheelff is operated by frictional contact with the rubberroller on the fly-wheel, and the bellows of the musical instrument is operated by the crank, and the paper is put in motion and carried forward over the reeds of the musical box by the feed-roll n, operated by the pulley-band n.

It will be seen that the sewing-machine cover or music-box can be detached from and adjusted to the sewing-machine without disarranging the sewing mechanism in any particular.

The sewing-machine cover, which by theinvention here described is transformed into a m usic-box, is made entirely independent of but adjustable to the sewing-machine in the manner described and shown.

Having thus described our invention, what we desire to secure is- A cover for a sewing-machine, provided with a musical instrument and means for transmitting motion from the shaft of the sewiug-machine to the operating parts of the musical instrument, substantially as described.
